Since I could not find the actual solution this problem and have fixed it my own way I will post it incase it helps anyone else.
Version: Openlayers 2.11 In OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature, I changed the out outFeature method as follows: outFeature: function(feature) { if(this.hover) { if(this.highlightOnly) { // we do nothing if we're not the last highlighter of the // feature if(feature._lastHighlighter == this.id) { // if another select control had highlighted the feature before // we did it ourself then we use that control to highlight the // feature as it was before we highlighted it, else we just // unhighlight it if(feature._prevHighlighter && feature._prevHighlighter != this.id) { delete feature._lastHighlighter; var control = this.map.getControl( feature._prevHighlighter); if(control) { control.highlight(feature); // THIS IS ADDED BY ME this.events.triggerEvent("featureunhighlighted", {feature : feature}); } } else { this.unhighlight(feature); } } else { // THIS IS ELSE BLOCK AND TRIGGER CALL ADDED BY ME this.events.triggerEvent("featureunhighlighted", {feature : feature}); ; } } else { this.unselect(feature); } } }, -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/SelectFeature-outFeature-method-tp3890333p4988237.html Sent from the OpenLayers Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list d...@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-dev
